Hi Camille,Interesting! I'm not familiar with this research, although I know that the Shriver Center (U Mass Med School) is doing some research on auditory discriminations in autism. I helped review a grant proposal on this a few years ago. You might suggest that they contact William Dube at the Shriver Center.Cheers,
Dorothy________________________________

Hi Dorothea,
This is from an auditory listserve I’m on and I thought you might have some suggestions. You may know that typically people are very good at localizing sounds. It looks as if they’re finding that autistic folks are different in this regard.

I am currently helping someone with a design project and as part of the research we wanted to look at source localisation by autistic people. Due to the way they process/percieve sound they find it very difficult to focus on a single source.

Anyway, I thought I would drop you a quick email to see if you have any information or know of any referneces we should be checking out?
